i pull up to a light today, a car ahead and a lane over, i see a honda crx. it's a nice faded red tone. i look at the lower half of the car, and i notice a rather extensive body kit. the body kit is bright purple. the new rear bumper that's part of the body kit does not have a license plate area. instead, it has two large bug grills that combined cover almost the entire rear bumper. whoever installed the body kit thought it would look pretty sweet if they used cable ties to tie the license plate to the grills. i thought damn i wish we were both lined up in front on a nice straight away road. i can almost gaurantee that he would've tried to race me. i know my car is slow as hell, but i still would've liked to prove to him how rediculously slow his ride really is.

Hey well check this out mabey they think they know their car is fast but at least it looks kinda nice i would think BUT all the stuff to make it look ok is tooo expensive and has nothing to do with the HP on the car anyways but as long as thier happy with thier POS then I'm happy wasting their rides.
Were all happy.

 

sometimes you gotta watch out for those
little cars. at least those that know what they are doing. i know a guy whose got an integra gsr that runs 13.5 quarter mile and his motor has almost 150,000 miles on it.

i know that my civic is slow, but ill still race it sometimes just for ***** and giggles, and it will surprise people sometimes as to how much it can at least keep up. i really dont care, win or lose, b/c right now its my only running vehicle, until i get the tpi on the z put back together.

you can usually tell the imports that are wannabe's, or the guys who actually know how to make 'em fast. ive seen ugly @ss primer grey crx's and civic hatches make some camaros and mustangs look pathetic, but ive also seen a riced out prelude try and race my civic and lose, b/c it was some immature kid who thought his car was bad @ss cause it had a body kit and a coffee can exhaust tip (btw his car should have whooped the civic, but just cause you got it doesn't mean you know how to drive it)

91Z28 LB9 700R4 (for now)
car is pretty rough cond.
but trying to restore it.
also '00 civic ex w/CAI
short shifter and other
factory optional goodies

 

You can probably be safe 90% of the time racing ricers, cause most of them don't know how to drive or how the person that installed the body kit could acomplish such a monumental feat etc.

But the CRX is probably a little faster than a stock LG4 with auto... a good majority of CRX's made were stick... and you can't forget that most of them weigh 2000 lbs or less... that's pretty good for the 93 - 105 Hp or so that they have... with some light mods they can probably pull low 15's or high 14's...
Given all that, I'd say you would still stomp that punks *** into the ground since he probably couldn't drive.
